Open Heaven 13 October 2018 Memorise
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Open Heaven 13 October 2018 Bible Reading – 1 John 4:1-6

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Open Heaven 13 October 2018 Bible in one year – Isaiah 58-60, Luke 6:1-23

The greatest battle that has ever been fought and is still being fought is in the heart of man. This battle is being fought by God on one side and the devil on the opposing side. Whoever wins this battle ultimately wins control over the soul of the individual over whom the battle is being fought.

The devil has been interested in the souls of men ever since God created us, and his plan has always been to destroy as many of us as possible. Our Lord Jesus Christ revealed the devil’s plan to us and offer us God’s solution saying in John 10:10:

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal , and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have light, and they might have it more abundantly.”

Through the ages, the devil has succeeded in taking over the lives of so many people, and for this reason, the Lord said in Matthew 7:13:

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.”

In spite of all that the devil may try, my prayer for you is that I will see you in heaven in Jesus’ Name.

In the world today, there is so much wickedness and confusion everywhere. Sin has become so common place that it is very strange and rare to see someone who is pure and refuses to be a part if the evil of the day. These are some of the signs Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24:3-31. Click To Read – Open Heaven 14 October 2018 Sunday

In order to further achieve his aims, the devil has employed false prophets into his service. They go around disseminating false doctrine which are even more dangerous to Christians, because they can make a person think that he or she is saved and safe while they are actually on their way to hell.

Open Heaven 13 October 2018

One of the reasons why many of these false prophets are so successful is that they keep telling people what they want to hear and not what the Bible says (2 Timothy 4:3). The Bible is the written word of God, and so, anyone who deviates from it by as much as a dot is not of God and doesn’t have your best interest at heart (2 Peter 1:20-21). Open Heaven 12 October 2018

God’s word is absolute, and it must be preached in its pure form. The best way to guard your heart in these perilous times is to fill if with the word as much as possible. Once you give your life to Christ and are sanctified by God, it is important to ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit so that Jesus himself can fill you to overflow with His spirit and mark you for Himself.

Father, let your word have free course in my heart and fill me to overflow with your spirit

NEARER MY GOD TO THEE

Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’ en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Though, like a wanderer
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee.

There let me see the sight,
An open heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angles to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee

Then, with my walking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise,
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee

OPEN HEAVEN 14 OCTOBER 2018 MEMORIZE: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy rejoiceth against judgment James 2:13

Open Heaven 14 October 2018 Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-14 (KJV)

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

Open Heaven 14 October 2018 Bible in one year: Isaiah 61-64 Luke 6:24-45, Hymnal: sing hymn 3

For us as human beings, mercy is one of the most essential attribute of God, because this is God’s character by which He faithfully keeps His relationship with his children, despite our short comings, unworthiness and unfaithfulness [roman 9:15-16] mercy connotes goodness, grace, favor and steadfast love [Ephesians 2:4] the most prominent aspect of mercy is the compassionate disposition to forgive an offender in order to help his or her sorry situation.

The bible shows that Jesus is God’s mercy personified, and by his death and resurrection, we have open access to God’s mercy. I Peter 1:3 Says:

“BLESSED be the God and father of our lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

God’s mercy brings about the conversion of sinners, instructs the ignorant, counsels the doubtful and comforts the sorrowful. It also forgives and overlooks injurious acts, and patiently puts up with human errors and weaknesses.

The mercy of Jesus Christ earns us his free legal representation before the father, and secures the sprits continued intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. Click Here To Read – Open Heaven 13 October 2018

Against this background, we can boldly say that God’s mercy prevails over judgment, in this passage. One says mercy “rejoice against “judgment, while the other says mercy “triumphs over “judgment. Both descriptions paint vivid pictures of victory and celebration in a hopeless situation.

Knowing that judgment is the deserved consequence for sin, the intervention of divine mercy that turn things around and makes culprit “ rejoice against ‘ and ‘triumph over ‘ judgment is indeed a miracle. Click Here To Read – Open Heaven 12 October 2018

The ultimate act of God’s mercy is the work of substitution that Jesus Christ performed on the cross of Calvary. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SINS

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole
again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Chorus:

Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my cleansing this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Nothing can my sin erase
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of works, ‘tis all of grace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
